Studies have shown that the most effective, but also the more toxic herbi- cide of the two, is piclo- ram. Its common name is Tordon 22. Picloram is selective in what it kills but will linger in the environment. The less toxic glyphosate, com- monly known as Round Up, would kill more weeds, as well as other nearby plants, once and then disappear from the environment. The herbicides would be hand-sprayed on spotted knapweed rosettes. When considering what mode to use for eradication the USFS con- siders three criteria: ex- pected risk vs. expected goal of eradication, cost, and the ability to follow through, Bulkin said. Risk Assessments of picloram and glyphosate are available for the public to read at I.V. Library. Groups and individuals that harvest products from area forests, including the shitake mushroom harvest- ers, are opposed to the use of herbicides in the forests, Chapp said. But Bulkin said that anyone harvesting prod- ucts from the forest is re- quired to have a permit and that no permits would be issued for areas where her- bicides are sprayed. Others at the meeting said nobody should be put- ting people at risk of con- tact with herbicides. Chapp said she would like the USFS to continue with the hand-pulling pro- gram because it is work- ing, it provides local jobs and gets community mem- bers involved and educated in weed eradication. She cited an organiza- tion known as the Salmon River Restoration Council that has been a model due to its success at “whipping” the weed by hand-pulling along the Salmon River. The final decision on whether or not to use her- bicides rests with U.S. For- est Supervisor Scott Con- roy. Although different groups have different phi- losophies on how spotted knapweed should be eradi- cated, they all agreed the weed needs to be removed. Mary Bell, a seasonal employee with USFS, who Shohet called her “weed- picking hero,” has also been picking knapweed in another area near Onion Camp. Bell said it’s up to people in the community to take responsibility for areas of weed infestations if they don’t want herbi- cides being used in the forests. “It’s everyone’s re- sponsibility to deal with weeds. I would like to see the people deal with their own weeds in their own yards, streets and commu- nity if we don’t want to see it go to herbicides,” she said. births per year, each new- born will receive a hearing screening test within one month of the date of birth. Facilities with fewer than 200 live births per year shall provide the par- ent or guardian with the appropriate information furnished by Dept. of Hu- man Services concerning the importance of newborn hearing screening tests. It also makes it the responsibility of the facil- ity to inform parents of the test results and provide contact information for area diagnostic facilities within 10 days of the screening. Tammie also submit- ted written testimony of behalf of the grange for House Bill 2684, which exempts audiologists and physicians from hearing aid dealer license require- ments. And through the grange Deaf Activities Program, Tammie’s efforts have benefited Dogs for the Deaf; given access to surgery and hearing aids for those in need; and pro- vided scholarships. As daylight can be seen through very small holes, so little things will illustrate a person’s character. - Samuel Smiles - PAINTBALL POPPING PROS - Six five-man teams participated in paintball competi- tion on Sunday, July 27 at Cave Junction's DMZ Paintball competition field along- side Upper Reeves Creek Road off Kerby Mainline Road. Teams were from Illinois Valley, Eugene, Klamath Falls, Coos Bay and Medford, participating in a series of competitions throughout Southwestern Oregon with their compressed air-powered markers. Results of the event in Kerby were not immediately available. (Related photos on page 11) Not to mention the other grange activities in which she is involved in- cluding the food bank, breakfasts and other fund- raisers. In nominating Tammie, fellow I.V. Grange members, after several other names had been suggested during a meeting Tammie did not attend, selected her. Her application was then sent to the Pomona level, which includes rep- resentatives from all nine community granges in Jo- sephine County. Once selected as the Pomona winner, Tammie’s application went on to the state level. While Tammie admit- ted that such recognition is nice every now and then, it isn’t the reason she gives of her time. She said her mother instilled in her the meaning of volunteering. “The only reward is the smile on the person’s face. Knowing that you’ve helped make something better than it was before,” she said. “You get your rewards in your afterlife.” Honoring Ellis Tycer, Revolutionary War Veteran (NC Militia) & his family Jr. golf program participants Swingin’ summer for I.V. golf youths By Bob Muswieck Jr. golf coach Another successful Illinois Valley Junior Golf program concluded re- cently. A total of 65 young- sters signed up this year; 15 girls and 50 boys. Thanks should go to new teaching professional Mi- chael Day, who gave golf instructions on putting, chipping and full swing.
